Cranberry Chutney

Sweet, tangy, tart, and filled with fall spices, this cranberry chutney makes a delicious alternative to traditional cranberry sauce.

I have always loved cranberry sauce with our roasted turkey dinners, on open-faced turkey sandwiches, and on turkey & cream cheese sandwiches. I recently picked up some fresh cranberries, and instead of making my usual homemade cranberry sauce, I made this easy cranberry chutney recipe that I found on allrecipes. This delicious chutney has a great combination of flavors, textures, and spices, and it takes 15 minutes to prepare!

Cranberry Chutney

Ingredients:

• ½ cup fresh-squeezed orange juice (about 1 large orange)
• ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp white sugar, or more if needed
• 6 oz fresh cranberries
• 1 apple, peeled & diced
• ¼ apple cider vinegar
• ¼ cup raisins or dried cranberries
• ¼ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp ground ginger
• ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
• ⅛ tsp ground cloves
• Zest from ½ an orange
•  Pinch of salt

How to Make Cranberry Chutney

Combine the fresh orange juice and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.

Add the fresh cranberries, diced apple, cider vinegar, raisins (or dried cranberries), cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, zest, and salt.

Return to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Side Note: Green apples and dried cranberries tend to be tart, so you may need to add more sugar, to taste, if you use them. 

Pour mixture into a serving bowl.

Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the chutney and let it cool to room temperature before serving. Enjoy.
